Hello guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I have started my 23rd week yesterday which means I am officially halfway through my pregnancy and I thought I share a little halway through update with you. I can´t believe it we have more than halftime now and gonna meet this little baby sooner than later. 

The nursery is in full planning and I have gotten in a lot of baby products the last weeks. We also went baby clothes shopping since we do know that this little peanut is going to be a girl.

Another great milestone has been that I have felt the first kicks at the end of my 20th week. Now I am looking forward to it every evening. The baby mostly moves recognizable in the evenings after massaging my belly with oil. This makes it a bit more real than it already is. 

My belly has grown pretty big so this probably will be one big baby. I had my last ultrasound appointment on Monday and it was also Florian´s first time seeing the baby live and moving around. It went great and and she moved a lot but covered her cute face with her hands most of the time.

I also had my big 20 week organ ultrasound on Tuesday and everything looks really good. You could also see all the bone and count the little finger.

My gestational diabetes has become a lot better too. I haven´t had to further adjust the amount of insulin I have to take. I am still restricted with a bunch of things to eat but at least I know what I do it for.

The only maternity pieces I have gotten so far are a pair of jeans and a pair of black tights. For all my other things I have just sized up one or two sizes.

Also my navel is still inside but Florian is checking everyday cause he thinks it´s going to pop very soon. I do not think it is. We´ll see.

Hello and happy Saturday,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am not sharing a Black Friday shopping guide since I am not going to shop much today as I have most of my presents and we are focusing on baby gear this year so I can not recommend much but I am sharing this handbag addict gift guide with you, cause I love my bags.

I got this from my great aunt, she loved handbags very much and gave her addiction on to me. I very appreciate my handbag collection and love adding new pieces.

My bag collection got quite big over the years. I am not owning super high-end brands but I love bags from Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Guess and Michael Kors for example. But handbags from H&M and Mango are just as pretty.

Handbags are a huge part of an outfit. It can make it or break it.

Happy finally Friday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am so eager to finally share our Christmas tree with you guys. I opted for a classic color theme this year in red and green. The traditional Christmas colors. I personally think it is the prettiest combo I have done so far but this is probably one thing I say every year. 

The flocked white tree is from Fairy Trees I got from amazon three years ago and I still love it. I think the white makes is super christmassy and all the colored Christmas ornaments pop right out. 

So I added a bunch of tartan checked bows and glass candy canes to the tree. I like to have different ornaments and to play around with different textures and shapes.  The white tree skirt is also from amazon and cost about 20 Euro. I would say get one cause it totally adds dimension to the tree plus the white faux fur tree skirt looks great with presents on.

Another thing I enjoy decorating a lot is the mantle. Throwing a garland over it and adding the same color theme as on the tree not only makes it fitting in it also looks very festive. 

I am not ready decorating everything. My garlands up the stairs are still in the making but I can say that I have all the presents I need for this year. At least I have accomplished this. The rest of my decor should be up by the end of next week. Step by step is my new motto. I have to admit I am not as fit as I was before getting pregnant and I am tired more often. This bugs me a lot but I just can´t change it and in the end I am very happy the way it is. 

Did you decide on a color theme for your tree ? Have you set up already?

Wishing you a great weekend. I am going to post through the weekend so you can check back tomorrow or Sunday for new content.

Hi you guys, 

the weekend is right ahead of us and I am sharing a post that is near and dear to my heart. Our gender reveal !!!! We found out about the gender at 16 weeks pregnant and it has been confirmed twice after that to make sure it is going be the right gender. And also I wanted to start buying stuff in the right color. 

So with no further ado our baby is going to be a ….

GIRL!!!!!

It is going to be a girl. We are over the moon happy and excited and I can not wait to dress her in all the beautiful and girly outfits I got. Now I can finally order the finishing touches of the nursery like ordering name signs and get a bunch of personalized stuff for her. 

Most of the guesses were girl but I had a feeling it wouldn´t be so I would say moms aren´t always right, or at least not first time moms. 

I am going to post my 20 week update next week with some more information of my journey and how I am at the moment. I have entered my 23rd week today and so far I love being pregnant and also I can still find cute looks to wear. 

So that´s it for today. I am posting another gift guide tomorrow so make sure to check back if you are still in need of some presents.
